Denormalized numbers and implicit exponents are important in computer science because they allow for more efficient representation of very small or very large numbers in a computer's memory. Denormalized numbers help to increase the precision of calculations, while implicit exponents help to save space and improve computational efficiency. Overall, these concepts play a crucial role in optimizing the performance of numerical computations in computer systems.

How is computed radiography different from direct radiography?

'Direct' radiography implies that the other form is 'indirect' radiography which is indeed the implicit connotation. With digital radiography the results of the X-ray are immediate as the system is connected directly to the computer. In indirect radiography (also called computed radiography) a phosphor plate is used, become radiated, and then are scanned following this exposure to see that X-ray's outcome.


What are the shortcomings of dfd as a tool for performing structured analysis?

Data Flow Diagram explains the logic behind the data flow within the system. Dfd performs an implicit functional decomposition of the system. But the shortcoming is the DFD is time consuming process.


How database help in your life?

Lots of people use databases, teachers, doctors even librarian's. For example, a librarian uses a database to keep information of all the people who borrow books from the library, their names, address, contact numbers and so on!!:)


What is Operation Code OpCode?

an opcode (operation code) is the portion of a machine language instruction that specifies the operation to be performed. Their specification and format are laid out in the instruction set architecture of the processor in question (which may be a general CPU or a more specialized processing unit). Apart from the opcode itself, an instruction normally also has one or more specifiers foroperands (i.e. data) on which the operation should act, although some operations may have implicit operands, or none at all. There are instruction sets with nearly uniform fields for opcode and operand specifiers, as well as others (the x86architecture for instance) with a more complicated, varied length structure.by: HerLoyd


Which device needs a driver to operate on your computer?

Modern operating systems are designed to operate on top of a hardware abstraction layer (some even call it so). This allows the same operating system version to execute on a variety of hardware combinations, supporting a number of different processor types, motherboard chipsets, on-board audio, etc, etc.Driver software is a general term for software which links the hardware abstraction layer to the real hardware, as one driver knows hows how to handle one processor type, and another knows how to handle another, for example.Some modern operating systems strive for a very high level of hardware abstraction such that every device, even including the central processing unit itself, needs a driver. Other operating systems may deploy a less rigorous abstraction policy, and require explicit driver software only for certain components such as printers or video cards. These would support hardware which is diverse enough for the operating system's manufacture not to include implicit driver code within the operating system itself, but ultimately all code which interfaces with real hardware could be seen as a driver.
